Episodes
As time goes by Geet begins to fall for Dev. As Dev is an NRI, Geet's family actually doesn't know his background and history, and they trust him by the way he presents himself to them. Then a twist comes in the story. Dev's family seems mysterious. It looks as if they have a secret. Slowly as the show proceeds we find out that Naintara who is supposedly Dev's sister-in-law, is actually his wife,and Dev is caught in a huge money issue where they have came to India to procure the money and they are intending to get it in dowry from Geet's family. And Geet finally gets married to Dev in a quiet traditional ceremony, totally unaware that the wedding priest is fake. The next day Geet and her in-laws are suppose to leave for Canada. As it is a tradition to hand down a lot of dowry to the grooms family, Geets grandfather hands them land papers that belong to Geet. On the day that Geet is getting ready to fly to Canada Dev puts sleeping pills in her coffee and leaves her at the airport. Geet is deceived and wakes up in a police station. She is brought back to her family home by her father and every one is shocked to know that they have been robbed and cheated.
Geet, now infatuated with love for Dev feels that Dev could never betray her, and finds different ways to reach out to her 'husband', Dev. She tries many times but fails because her elder brother, Brij keeps finding her, and retorts that she is slowly becoming independent and brave. Geet again try's to find dev by calling him at his house in Canada, and she talks to Naintara, Dev's wife. But she fails when Brij turns up there just in time. This is where Maan enters Geet's life the third time. Geet encountered Maan when she was in danger, once, when she was being chased by goons,he saved her. The second time was when, on the night of her wedding she found Dev missing and she bumped into him. Maan is like her philosopher for her, where she begins to use his advice that he gives every time she comes across him to go further in life. He shows her the reality. The third time he shows up, he shows Geet her land papers which were sold off to Maan. This makes Geet finally realize that she has been cheated by her so-called husband, Dev.
A couple of days later, Geet finds out that she is pregnant with Dev's child. One day, Maan corners Geet and tells her that she has to go to Amritsar with him to get the papers legalized or else he will forcefully drag her to Amritsar in front of her whole family. In Canada, Naintara gets a call from Geet who tells her that she is pregnant with Dev's child and Naintara immediately takes a flight to India. Naintara is furious with Dev over how he betrayed her by sleeping with another woman. Maan takes Geet to Amritsar where she meets Naintara and Naintara informs her that Dev is already married to her. Geet becomes devastated and refuses to go back to Hoshiarpur with Maan. Brij then finds her and takes her home, where she tells the family that she is going to have a child.Her family becomes furious and asks her to abort the child to which Geet refuses. So her grandfather (Darjee) orders Brij to kill her. Geet runs away from her house and Brij and his men try to kill her. She nearly gets killed when Maan enters and saves her. Maan tells Geet to file a police complaint against Brij, but Geet refuses and goes back to her village where she openly tells everyone about the doings of her family to the villagers. Another man Gurwinder, who also suffered because of Brij's doings, brings the police and Brij gets arrested. Geet breaks all ties from her family .

Maan sees all this and shouts at the manager and takes geet out of the hotel. Geet challenges Maan that he won't be able to sit in a Dhabha. Maan accepts the challenge and drives to the dhabha. He felt surprised at the way the people behaved and ate in the dhabha. Maan also does bhangra on geet's request. when he comes out, it rains and geet dances in the rain. Suddenly, she remembers dev and cries. Somebody stole his cars tires. She hugs maan and then maan hugs her and realises that he is really changing.
Next day, he behaves very strangely and all wonder what happens to him. Maan tries to forget Geet by not talking and looking at her. He gives her project job and cabin to Sasha so that he gets rid of her, because he knows that he is changing, but it is his ego which does not makes him accept it. Then Geet decides to react to this; she is now adamant to show her "professional" boss that she will impress him by her work. But when she decided that she would have an Indian theme at the launch party, Maan fights with her and out of no control Maan and Geet both say how much they dislike each other and so Geet leaves the job.
Maan's grandmother, Savitri Devi, tries talking to Geet and convinces her to join the job. When Maan finds Geet in his house he is confused at first but later finds out that his grandmother has hired Geet. Geet is very eager that she will stay in the house and work there,we all know that Maan does really want Geet to stay. She claims that the room she is staying in, which actually belongs to Maan, is hers. Maan tries to convince her otherwise and demands her to leave but she refuses to listen to him.
Eventually, Geet finds out that Savitri Devi is actually Maan's grandmother and hilarity ensues as Geet tries desparately to be able to stay in the outhouse and Maan struggles to send her out. To avoid making a decision about who will have the outhouse and if Geet will keep the job Savitri Devi decides to keep a Moun Wrat (a fast to remain silent) for a week which angers Maan and worries Geet.
